Notes about cable boxes:
The connection diagram shown above reflects a basic setup. Since there are many different cable companies
and types of cables boxes, your cable box may come with a different recommended connection diagram.
Normally, ANALOG cable boxes are used so that the cable company can scramble the signal for premium channel
programming (like movie channels). The cable box will descramble the signal if you are a premium channel
subscriber. In some cases, your cable company may not scramble the signal for basic channels and the signal
could be passed through the cable box so that you could receive the signal with the DVD recorder.
There are also DIGITAL cable boxes that are relatively new and are used with digital cable service. Even with
digital cable service, analog signals are often carried on the same cable.
Using the connection diagram above, you won't be able to watch one program while recording another pro-
gram. This may be possible with a more sophisticated setup, using an optional signal splitter and A-B switch.
We suggest you contact your cable company for help in recommending the best setup for your situation.
If you connect your components as described, you must access different Video Input Channels on your TV to
see programming. If you don't know how to access Video Input Channels on your TV, go to page 20 for help. A
general explanation, based on the connection shown above, follows:
To play a disc: Tune the TV to its Input 1 channel or Vid I channel
ff you need help finding your TV's various Video Input Channels, go to page 20.
